What an Exhausting Day
Good day. Today was action packed non-stop from start to finish. It started with an alarm clock that buzzed in my ear at 6 AM. Yes, 6 AM. The time of the day where only the nocturnal animals are out and about in deepest darkest Africa. I mean, the sun hadn't even come up yet. So after a cold shower (seeing as the power has been off for so many days in a row, my hot water ran out), which woke me up, and a cup of coffee, I was ready to conquer the day. I got to the church at just after 7. The whole whole worship team was supposed to meet at 7 but Niccoline and I (the two people that don't operate on African time) were the only ones there. The others sauntered in by 7:30. We got one quick practice in before the service started. So the first Sunday of singing went OK. Nobody left with their fingers in their ears screaming for mercy, so that should count for something.
Pastor Josh preached from 1 Timothy 3:1-7. It is the section about the qualifications of pastors. He broke it up into 4 sections. Pastors need to be noble in mind, noble in manner, noble in marriage, and noble in ministry. It was a really informative sermon. Basically he just followed the text, so if you want to know more check it out.
This afternoon I travelled with a small group to Entebbe. We attended the church plant in Entebbe. Usually there is a Bible study but tonight Pastor Craig took us to the site where the church is going to be built. It is a beautiful place, 200m x 50m right on Lake Victoria. A lot of work needs to be done to the land, most notably cleaning the garbage off it, but in time it will be a very nice church. We prayed at the site for the Lord's blessing of the land, the cleaning, and the building. Then we went back to Pastor Craig's place and sang some songs. It was a really nice evening. I just got back at about 9:30 and I'm beat. I'm packing off to bed. God bless.
